When their father passes away, four grown, world-weary siblings return to their childhood home and are requested -- with an admonition -- to stay there together for a week, along with their free-speaking mother and a collection of spouses, exes and might-have-beens. As the brothers and sisters re-examine their shared history and the status of each tattered relationship among those who know and love them best, they reconnect in hysterically funny and emotionally significant ways.

This Is Where I Leave You (2014)

This movie is full of contrived family dysfunction and disingenuous emotional processing. There was way too much of both of those things crammed in to treat any of it with the attention that might have made this movie what it wanted to be.
